Retractable Outer Frame Mounting for Replaceable Display Housings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing display devices face challenges in easily replacing appearance parts due to their connection with internal parts, leading to potential damage during disassembly and the inability to share appearance parts across different sizes or models, resulting in increased product costs when design changes are needed.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a housing and moving components that include a positioning element and operating element, allowing the positioning end to extend out of or retract into the housing for easy mounting and disassembly of the outer frame, facilitated by mechanisms such as springs, magnets, or magnetic components, enabling easy replacement of appearance parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If appearance parts are connected to internal parts, then structural stability is improved, but ease of replacement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The appearance parts are divided into multiple independently replaceable segments (first appearance part, second appearance part, third appearance part) that can be separated from the housing without affecting internal parts. Each appearance part can be individually removed and replaced, enabling easy maintenance and design updates while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The appearance parts are extracted as separate removable components from the housing structure. The housing includes dedicated mounting structures (first mounting structure, second mounting structure, third mounting structure) that allow appearance parts to be easily detached and reattached, separating the appearance functionality from the internal structural components.
2Manufacturing precision
If appearance parts are fixed in structure, then manufacturing precision is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is designed with universal mounting structures (first mounting structure, second mounting structure, third mounting structure) that can accommodate different types and sizes of appearance parts. This allows the same housing to support multiple design configurations and device variants, enabling appearance parts to be shared across different device models while maintaining precise manufacturing standards.
3Ease of repair
If appearance parts are disconnected for replacement, then ease of replacement is improved, but reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is pre-equipped with dedicated mounting structures (first mounting structure, second mounting structure, third mounting structure) that prepare the connection interfaces in advance. These pre-designed connection points ensure that when appearance parts are reattached after replacement, they achieve reliable and secure connections, eliminating the need for complex reassembly procedures that could compromise reliability.

AI summary
A display device is adapted to optionally mount an outer frame. The display device includes a housing and a moving component. The housing includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion. The first portion has an opening slot, and the second portion has an opening. The moving component includes a positioning element and an operating element. The operating element is movably disposed in the opening slot. The positioning element is connected to the operating element and has a positioning end facing the opening. The positioning end is adapted to optionally mount the outer frame. The operating element is adapted to drive the positioning element to move from a first position to a second position, so that the positioning end extends from the opening to the outside of the housing or retracts into the housing.
